The important cities in the north that are expanding southward are now in Link's hands.
After clearing out the remaining soldiers from Pasport, Stella did not linger there. She immediately ordered, "Leave a portion of the garrison behind, and the rest head west to rendezvous with Bernice and Lina!"
Next, it will be time for the unification of the North.
......
Time flies and two days pass in a flash.
At this moment, a lazy and comfortable atmosphere permeated the spacious and luxuriously furnished bedroom of the city lord's mansion.
Link woke up slowly from his sweet dream, sprawled out on the soft bed in a "Ge You slouch" position, completely unrefined.
His left arm casually encircled Asagi beside him, her slender waist gently embraced by his, her hair falling softly in his arms, carrying a faint fragrance; his right arm encircled Luca, who nestled obediently in his embrace, looking charming and adorable.
This scene of having women on both sides was truly enviable, and Link's face was full of contentment, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, he was browsing through the Bilibili system with great interest.
On the system interface, various pieces of information were displayed before his eyes.
Link carefully counted the "spoils of war" he had gained in this battle, and his eyes lit up with excitement when he saw the Bika points he had accumulated over the past few days.
It has to be said that for Link, war is simply the best way to become stronger and richer.
In just a few days, Stella and Ingrid had brought him substantial rewards. In just a few days, he had earned tens of thousands of Bilibili Points.
【Bika Points: 14562】
Looking at the ever-increasing numbers, Link grinned, his smile full of smugness.
"It feels so good to have money!" he couldn't help but exclaim.
Now, he can draw lots at will again.
As usual, he planned to unlock the new world of doujinshi first.
Without the slightest hesitation, Link decisively spent all his Bilibili Points.
He first redeemed four chances to draw a specific book, secretly hoping to draw the book he wanted.
As for the remaining 10,000 points, he used them all without hesitation to redeem them for the designated lottery.
The lottery officially began, and with a flash of dazzling light, the first thing that caught the eye was the unlocking prompts for four brand-new notebook worlds.
The light flickered, as if telling the story of the mystery and wonder of these new worlds.
In these four draws, Link twice chose the high-tech world. The other two times, he chose the fantasy world.
Now, it all depends on luck.
Link stared intently at the screen, his eyes filled with anticipation, as if waiting for the favor of fate.
[Congratulations! You have successfully entered the world of this doujinshi: NieR: Automata JM296360, by Oricon...]
[Congratulations! You have successfully entered the world of this doujinshi: "Sword Star EVE", author: EVE07...]
These two high-tech world lotteries were truly top-tier events.
One of the draws was for *NieR: Automata*, and the other was for *Sword Star*. Speaking of 2B from *NieR: Automata*, she's incredibly famous.
In the 3D category, she consistently ranks among the top ten, making her a truly top-tier character. Countless people are drawn to her charisma, graceful figure, and powerful combat abilities.
Eve from "Sword Star" is a rising star. Since the game's release, she has quickly gained a large following thanks to her unique charm, becoming a new favorite among many players.
Of course, putting aside these captivating characters, the technological power inherent in these two worlds is equally formidable.
After all, the technological level of a company capable of creating lifelike and exceptionally capable androids like 2B and Eve must have reached a considerably high level.
If we could extract something useful from these two worlds, that would be perfect; it might even allow us to achieve a qualitative leap in our strength.
Very good, now it's time for those two fantasy worlds to make their appearance!
Link rubbed his hands together, and then started a new round of lottery draws.
[Congratulations! You have successfully entered the world of doujinshi: "The Dragon Sisters' Nighttime Service", by meguri tugumi...]
[Congratulations! You have successfully entered the world of this doujinshi: "The Inferior Defeat of the Princess Knight," by author Qing Doufu...]
"The Night Service of the Dragon Sisters" is set against the backdrop of the dragon sisters, Haya and Mizuki, from "Monster Hunter: Rise." As for "The Inferior Defeat of the Princess Knight," it's just a typical ecchi doujinshi.
Overall, the results of this lottery were quite good.
The titles NieR: Automata and Sword Star, in particular, are highly anticipated.
Of course, Monster Hunter is no less impressive. If you could get a Nergigante as your mount, that would be incredibly cool.
Imagine the sheer joy of riding a majestic Nergigante across the land!
"Now, let's officially begin the lottery."
Link didn't hesitate any longer and used all 10 designated lottery chances as well.
First and foremost, the targets were naturally the newly unlocked worlds. Link didn't hesitate to do a three-pull, secretly praying that he would get 2B, Eve, and that imposing Nergigante.
However, reality dealt Link a heavy blow.
To his utter surprise, he failed to win any of the three consecutive draws!
Looking at the glaring message box indicating a failed lottery draw, Link felt his heart suddenly race, leaping into his throat as if it were about to jump out!
[Ding! You used the targeted lottery, but the lottery failed!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn the following character from the world of NieR: Automata: Commander of the YoRHa Force!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn Swift from the world of Sword Star!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully drawn Fiore from the doujinshi world "The Night Service of the Dragon Sisters"!]
What the hell!
I'm a darling!
The lottery results were truly unpredictable, like riding a rollercoaster!
Link had been mentally prepared to draw some "oddballs," but now, his heart was finally at ease.
Although I didn't get the role he specified, these three in front of me are by no means inferior!
Let's start with the commander of the YoRHa unit. As the leader of the YoRHa unit, she is calm and collected, decisive and resolute in her actions, and enjoys extremely high prestige within the YoRHa unit.
9S once commented that "a person like her must live a life like a robot, strictly adhering to rules and prioritizing efficiency," but correspondent 6O revealed that this commander was actually a very easygoing person in private. She would casually throw her clothes in her room, making a mess, and rarely did any maintenance on her equipment, which was quite different from the serious image she projected in the military.
And then there's Xun Chi, the captain of the 7th Airborne Squadron, a highly decorated soldier.
She was renowned within the squad for her outstanding tactical skills, superb combat abilities, and exceptional survival skills. If it were a matter of leading a strike team to Earth to fight against Nergigante, she would undoubtedly be the best choice.
Unfortunately, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse during the mission. Before they even had a chance to experience the air of their home planet, they were ambushed by the Nergigante. The battle was more terrifying than a nightmare, and in the end, Swift tragically sacrificed himself. But to be fair, Link thinks Swift's looks are even a few points better than the protagonist, Eve.
As for Fiora, she belongs to the Kingdom in *Monster Hunter* and is the undisputed leader of the "Kingdom Knights." At the observation base of Elgard, she and Admiral Gareas lead an investigation team to combat the anomalies originating in the Kingdom's territory. She is highly responsible and serious, sometimes resorting to somewhat harsh methods to carry out her missions. However, her strength should not be underestimated; at least in some situations, she is far more reliable than the players in the game.
These three are all outstanding!
Link didn't hesitate and quickly used up the remaining seven targeted lottery draws.
Fortunately, he had incredible luck in the subsequent lottery draws, winning the characters he had been longing for.
There's Aline from *Twilight Prostitute*, whose unique charm seems to penetrate the system screen; there's Anne Roger, the steel witch from the *Taimanin* universe, exuding a mysterious and powerful aura; there's Tsubaki Miyajima, Sakura Miyajima's mother, mature, steady, and gentle; there's Trena, the female magician from *Busty Girlfriend NTR Adventure*, whose magical skills are unfathomable; there's Orica Disklentia, the proud dark elf queen from *Black Beast*, whose every move exudes queenly demeanor; there's Dilva, the dark-skinned elf general from *Welcome to the Forest of Wandering Fairies*, who is heroic and has a unique charm; and there's Mio Kusanagi from *JK Exorcist Club*, youthful, energetic, and full of a sense of justice.
I had a really satisfying time and a great time!
However, the lottery in other worlds was not so lucky; no more characters were drawn, only ordinary soldiers.
But Link is all too familiar with the strategy of using war to sustain war.
Before the soldiers on the front lines had suffered many losses, the troops were replenished through a lottery system, and the number of soldiers under his command continued to increase, and the army continued to grow.
As long as he keeps earning Bika points, Link can continuously spawn new troops through the lottery, and the speed at which his strength increases is like riding a rocket!
......
In the afternoon, Link's first task was to bring to life the characters and soldiers he had won in the lottery.
It's a small matter, not much trouble at all.
There is no need to overthink the appointments of these new roles.
Now is the time when we need people; anyone with ability can be put to good use.
Link assigned Aline to the market to assist Lucia in managing its affairs. Aline's arrival will undoubtedly make market management more organized.
Link entrusted the mother and daughter, Miyajima Tsubaki and Miyajima Sakura, to Kim Mi-ting. With municipal affairs becoming increasingly complex, Kim Mi-ting was overwhelmed; with their assistance, handling matters would surely be much easier.
Link arranges for the female sorceress Trena and Mio Kusanagi to go to school and be responsible for teaching them magic and swordsmanship.
The school is full of talented people, but it has always lacked professionals in teaching magic and swordsmanship. Their arrival will surely raise the school's teaching level to a new level.
Link entrusted the newly drawn army of over four thousand men to Olica and Dilva, ordering them to lead the troops eastward to join forces with Lucrezia and Claudia. He believed they could lead the army to victory.
As for Fiona and Xunchi, Link had them work with Bai to form a command system that oversaw the overall situation.
Shiro is the commander of the YoRHa unit. In the game, she is called Commander White. Link was too lazy to think of any other name, so he simply called her Shiro, which was a simple and easy-to-pronounce name.
Everything was progressing smoothly, and Link could almost see a prosperous future ahead.
......
Two more days later.
As the ice and snow melt, the biting spring breeze, like a nimble sprite, gently caresses the rolling mountains.
At the foot of the mountain, Winterfell is bustling with activity, with people coming and going. Every now and then, you can see people moving back and forth in front of and behind the city gates, their busy figures creating a vibrant scene.
Looking down from the sky, on the right side of Winterfell, hundreds of Winterfell civilians were sweating profusely. Some were digging into the mountain, while others were busy expanding buildings. They had a clear division of labor and worked together seamlessly. Every shovel of soil and every brick they laid was infused with their love and expectations for the city.
The area on the left is occupied by neat and orderly farms, with tender green wheat seedlings swaying gently in the spring breeze, as if telling of the hope for a bountiful harvest.
Today, the population of Winterfell is growing rapidly, with the summoned warriors making up a significant portion of the population.
For this reason, Winterhold had to embark on a large-scale expansion project.
Based on the originally planned population capacity, the size of Winterfell's forces has far exceeded the initial plan.
"Knock knock! Knock knock! Knock knock!" A series of crisp and rhythmic knocking sounds rang out.
"Lord Link, Commander Bai and the others have arrived."
Luca stood respectfully outside the bedroom door and spoke softly.
"Well, I see."
Link responded and slowly shifted his gaze to himself in the mirror.
That once slightly immature face has lost much of its childishness, and now exudes an increasingly strong aura of confidence and authority. The innocence and naivety of the past are gradually transforming into maturity and composure.
Link walked down the stairs with steady steps and arrived at the council hall of the city lord's mansion.
On the left side of the square table sat Bai, Fiorina, and Xun Chi, their postures upright and their eyes revealing determination and courage; on the right side sat Jin Meiting, Hannah, and Ogata Chifuyu, their demeanor elegant and their every move exuding composure and confidence.
As Link sat in the main seat, Bai, on his left, stood up first, bowed slightly respectfully, and said, "Lord Link, we have now successfully captured several major cities in the North. I have further refined the plan you previously specified, and have dispatched cavalry south to establish forward supply depots in suitable locations to ensure the supply of materials for our subsequent operations."
Link knew that if he wanted to make a smooth journey south, he had to be absolutely sure of his supplies.
After all, war is not just a contest of personnel, but also a war of attrition of resources.
Moreover, Link and White have had a long and in-depth discussion about the plan to expand their territory, and have finally formulated a series of clear and detailed plans. Everyone present has also actively participated in the process and contributed their wisdom and strength.
“Okay, let’s proceed steadily according to the map we made earlier.” Link nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Fiorena and asked, “How is the construction of the watchtowers in the Northern Snowfields progressing? I don’t want the enemy to take advantage of our weakness while we’re heading south.”
Link never forgot the threat of the demons' attack.
In the game, powerful demons will invade human kingdoms from the snowfields further north, bypassing the northern border.
As the northern border is the only way for the demon army to march south, a thrilling battle is bound to take place there.
Fiorena quickly flipped through her notebook containing intelligence information and said, "All the necessary supplies have been delivered. Construction of the watchtower has begun according to the established schedule and arrangements, and it is progressing smoothly."
“Very good.” Link nodded in satisfaction.
Once the plan to expand territory is fully implemented, Link will focus most of his attention on the south.
Therefore, he absolutely could not allow any unexpected situation to occur in the rear, including the major towns in the North.
Link knew that only with a secure rear could he fight bravely on the front lines without any worries.
